Name: Egbert Melian Estel Firecrotch Thranduil of the Noble House of Callistophylla
Traits: Amiable, Fun-loving, Awkward (outside of the forest), Loyal to a fault
Age: 20 years old (maturity is equivalent to 15 human years)
Nat lifespan: Half that of an Elf; 500 years
Height: 4’11” currently, eventually 5’5” by age 24
Weight: 5 stone (70 lbs), eventually 7 stone (98 lbs)
Appearance: Wild messy ginger hair and delicate features
Race: Essentially Wood-Elf. Can see very far and in good detail in good light conditions, bad eyesight in the dark. Wood-elves are a little shorter, narrower and lighter than humans. Many male Wood Elves cannot grow facial hair; seen as very macho. His mother is a noble Wood Elf; his father is half-Highlander Elf half-Human (Stiggean)
Religion: Aenorism (Wood-Elf religion is Celtic themed Shintoism; a polytheistic nature religion)
Sexuality: Bisexual leaning toward heterosexual (a 2 on the Kinsey Scale).

Family Connections:
⦁ Has three siblings, all full Wood Elves to Sha and her husband Aegnor. Eggs is a middle child born of an affair Sha had with a chap she met in Bogwater who was just passing through.
⦁ His Mother, adoptive father Aegnor, two brothers and one sister all have straight blond hair; as virtually all Wood Elf nobles do.
⦁ Druidry is often seen as a feminine pursuit and rangers as masculine. His brothers Erland and Lindir are very capable Rangers and are taller and more muscular than he is. He was close friends with his sister Yavanna and was often teased by his brothers. He was thrown out of the Forbidden Forest due to the dark dreams he kept having. Eggs worries that it had something to do with his Mum attempting to build a political career like her mother and grandmother before her. But this was probably not the case. Eggs was close to his Mother Sha and adoptive Father Aegnor.
Eggs Motivations:
⦁ To find a lasting way for him to return home to the Forbidden Forest.
⦁ He would like to meet his birth father and find his friends.
⦁ Discover what his awful nightmares mean.
⦁ To become the first male High Druid of the Forbidden Forest (think pope x general). Wood Elf society is matriarchal and men are often considered to emotional to be of use in public life.
Enjoys:
⦁ Loves animals and nature earnestly! All life is sacred and beautiful to him.
⦁ Enjoys the thrill of combat.
⦁ Hobbies: woodworking, singing, and playing pranks on his friends and family.
Flaws/challenges:
⦁ Getting kicked out of his home, and now his friends disappearing, has done a number on him. He’s worried he’ll always get left behind. Abandonment issues.
⦁ He’s slightly oblivious at times – he didn’t grow up in this world.
⦁ He frequently isn’t very aware of his own body and Elves aren’t scandalized by nudity at all, however, through his adventures he’s learned the importance of clothes for the comfort of those outside of the forbidden forest and the comfort of his friends is important to him.
⦁ When he does think about his own body (perhaps when it comes to physical or romantic attraction or the act of putting on clothes), he’s self-conscious about it as he feels he isn’t masculine enough.
Superstitions:
⦁ Like the wood elves, he believes your future children will be cursed if one doesn’t turn the cup upside down and tap the base three times after finishing a drink.
⦁ Like the wood elves, he believes the green (male) or blue (female) celtic-henna style body tattoos his people adorn themselves with as part of their coming-of-age ceremony (has to be done between ages 17 and 24), to ensure a firm connection with the spirits of the forest and animals into adulthood. Those without these tattoos are looked down on as perpetual children and cannot participate in many aspects of adult life.
⦁ Like the wood elves, he believes that one should say “may the spirits bless your bottom” when a friend farts to prevent their spirit escaping their body out of their ass.
⦁ Like the wood elves, he believes it is bad luck to walk over a bridge made of something other than living trees woven into a bridge.

INTER-SESSION NOTES:
Mum sent a messenger (Samuel Root) to tell Eggs that your (birth?) father has been press-ganged/kidnapped. She said to seek out Victor Gruglesniff (a wizard) as he may be helpful. We have been trying to get across town to meet him. Vanya, Flims and Merrick is after Eggs. Root clan is another Elven clan are currently in charge. The Leafkin and Root Clans are allies of the Callistophyla clan.

Theming of abilities
Eggs’ shapeshift ability creates a real body of Eggs as if he were that animal. Given that he is an elf of below average size any animal he turns into is proportionately below average in size for that animal. When he sheds he is forced out of that body, typically out of it’s rear, but not necessarily.
Eggs’ doppelganger dance allows him to magically shift his body into an actual copy of their body, however, maintaining this form requires concentration on his part. As his concentration is always on the verge of breaking he has a tell – usually his voice and hair stay unchanged, but sometimes other attributes are not properly changed instead; it’s always something significant though. After he has enough practice he will be able to suppress his tell but it will come at the cost of being a bit worse at absolutely anything else (-1 to all rolls).
